# Puzzle Chips vs STACK.it

The clearest difference is rating: Puzzle Chips at 5.0 against STACK.it's 4.4. STACK.it's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and ads (none vs shown). On price and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Puzzle Chips sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. STACK.it asks for nothing beyond the download.

Puzzle Chips holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: STACK.it has 33 ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 88% of Puzzle Chips's written reviews are positive against 100% of STACK.it's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Puzzle Chips ships an update monthly, STACK.it weekly. Both last shipped on September 27, 2026.
